PET SPOTLIGHT
Loretta
Loretta likes to sleep in cat beds and play quietly. Being a shy kitty, she is often overlooked by folks coming to adopt because they may not see her and she is not in the habit of seeking people out for attention. But beautiful Loretta is not to be missed! She is a friendly, gentle girl that minds her own business, and isn't demanding. Being a young girl she still has her curious kitten nature and is thrilled to find small coil toys that she can bat around endlessly. Loretta and her sibs came to the shelter as kittens and one by one got adopted, leaving Loretta still looking for the right person. This sweet girl needs a special person that understands shy, cautious kitties and will let her adjust to a new home slowly and love her on her own terms. Perhaps that's you?
Description: White, dark grey, black. Easy to care for short coat.
Age: approx 3 years of age.
Likes: Playing with small coil toys. Having her neck scratched and face petted.
Needs: Probably needs a quiet home with no small children. She currently doesn’t like a lot of handling and is not really a snuggler. However, may blossom into a social cat with the right family.
Baby Bear
Baby Bear is a pretty, female, black kitty about 11 months old. Her silky short haired coat is all black and offset by beautiful golden eyes. Being new she’s still a little shy, but is warming up quickly and enjoys a good snuggle and nice petting sessions. Baby Bear is looking for her forever, indoor, loving home.
Chloe
Chloe is a long-haired, front declaw, white and gray kitty. This beautiful girl has a fluffy, thick coat which is mostly white with large spots of gray on her body and the upper part of her face. Chloe is a 12 year old lady who arrived after her mom passed away. Worried about her mom and unsure of her new surroundings she is a little nervous right now. So far we know she loves being brushed and is a very sweet girl. We believe she has only lived with adults and obviously requires an indoor, safe home. Looking for a quiet, laid back kitty and willing to give her a bit of time to adjust? Come visit this lovely gal.
Cookie
Cookie is a male tabby kitty about 9 months old. His silky short coat has white on his chest, legs and face, with pretty markings around his mouth & eyes, including a ‘mustache’ under his nose. The rest of his coat is more brown with black markings/stripes. Cookie is a sweet boy that likes to be petted and sometimes sits on your shoulders. He is active, playful and vocal; enjoying strings, balls and hiding in boxes. He also enjoys drinking out of a dripping faucet. He has lived with other cats and a dog. Cookie’s pregnant mom was rescued from the streets and cared for while she gave birth. Sibs, Cookie & Sweetie came to the shelter to find their own forever homes. (dob 6-18-24)

Freddy is a sweet, playful, curious boy and likes getting attention, cuddling, and being petted. In fact, Freddy is proving to be a big lovable cuddle bug. He adores being held and carried around. If you try to put him down he grabs on to you (gently) to stay in your arms. He is an extremely affectionate boy. Doesn’t seem to mind other kitties either. He’s ready to find his forever, indoor home.
Gemma
Gemma is approximately 8 years of age. A soft, medium coated Tabby. She's a lovely grey colored cat with expressive facial markings. Gemma is quiet and keeps to herself in the cat room, but welcomes a bit of attention. She likes to be brushed and petted, but for a short time.

Loretta
Loretta is a female, short-haired kitty approx 3 years of age. (est dob 4/2022). She has a soft, short-haired coat with large sections of fluffy white fur alongside dark grey & black. Check out Loretta’s adorable pink nose and her sweet face. She is a shy, quiet gal that keeps to herself, but she is friendly, gentle and has a curious nature. Loretta is thrilled to find small coil toys and will play like a kitten with them. Loretta & sibs came to our shelter as kittens and one by one found homes. Being shy, Loretta was nervous about all the shelter activity and didn’t welcome attention and so got passed by for adoption. Volunteers love on her to get her more comfortable around people. She enjoys having her face petted and neck scratched. Sweet Loretta needs a special person that understands shy, cautious kitties and will let her adjust to a new home slowly and love her on her own terms. She will most likely do best in a quiet home, without young kids, or boisterous dogs or bossy cats. Allow her to acclimate in one room before getting free run of the house. Come spend time with her and see if you’re a match!

Tigger
UPDATE-Adopted!! Congrats! Tigger is a 5 year old male, orange and white Tabby cat. You can surely see the distinctive 'M' on the forehead of this Tabby. He's a nice cat but can be grumpy.

Tigger is quiet and laid back. He may not be a good fit for young kids. (approx DOB 3/19/2018)
